Desirable homes and Reno High School near Idlewild Park
Situated between the Truckee River, the Eastern Sierra Mountains and downtown Reno, Hunter Lake is one of the region’s most desirable neighborhoods. “Hunter Lake is an older-established, family-friendly neighborhood,” says Richard Berman, a Realtor with Dickson Realty. “People like it because it’s near the Midtown neighborhood. It has an urban feel, but you can get a nice home.” Home to the famous Idlewild Park on Truckee River, residents flock to the park’s Sunday market and food truck events. Students study within the Washoe County School District, which is the No. 5 district in Nevada, graded an overall B-plus on Niche. Homes have a median sale price of around $630,000, which is similar to prices in Midtown and lower than Skyline Boulevard. Nightlife happens in Reno to the north, but most shopping can be done in Midtown on Virginia Street, which is just 2 miles east.
Swim and smell the roses at Idlewild Park
Presented as a gift to Reno from California in 1927, Idlewild Park and the California Building, a popular wedding venue, attract parkgoers year-round. The park includes numerous picnic spaces, tennis courts, bike routes and a public pool. The Lions Club playpark is great for romping around, while the skate park keeps adventurous residents active. Residents can stop and smell more than 1,700 roses of more than 200 different types at the Reno Municipal Rose Garden, which is the only rose garden in Nevada to receive certification from the American Rose Society. For other adventures, bike or stroll to Pyramid Lake or Lake Tahoe via the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail.
There are two shaded gazebos in Reno Municipal Rose Garden for you to relax in the shade.

The park also hosts Food Truck Fridays from June to August, where people can sample Reno Street foods and support local businesses.

Truckee River condos and contemporary estates
Several condo units along Truckee River can range in prices from $250,000 and $450,000. Townhouses can have up to three bedrooms and cost closer to that $400,000 price point. Single-family residences in Hunter Lake can range from flat desert ranch-style homes and bungalows to contemporary or Spanish style estates. “There are no cookie cutter homes... These are older homes, a lot built in the 50s and 60s,” says Berman. “You’ll get old brick homes with mature trees and bigger lots, one-half to one acre. Hunter Lake also has some of the highest prices per square foot.” Several of Hunter Lake’s homes have been recently renovated, and those with three or fewer bedrooms on nice-sized lots can cost between $400,000 and $750,000. Homes with four or more bedrooms tend to start around $650,000 and can reach as high as over $2 million for those with more than 2,500 square feet on expansive lawns.
